jbg Posted December 19, 2007 Report Posted December 19, 2007 nice article clearly displaying that any of our current democratic systems seem to strangely support severe plutocracy (ie. rule by the rich).http://sociology.ucsc.edu/whorulesamerica/power/wealth.html But given the sizeable middle class and the lack of barriers to mobility, this wealth contrast does give something attainable for people to strive for. I am no plutocrat but all in all it's a good thing. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
